The Meaning Of Love Lyrics
I've read more than a hundred books
Seen love mentioned many thousand times
But despite all the places I've looked
It's still no clearer it's just not enough
I'm still no nearer the meaning of love
Noted down all my observations
Spent an evening watching television
Still I couldn't say with precision
Know it's a feeling and it comes from above
But what's the meaning, the meaning of love?
The meaning of love
Tell me the meaning of love
From the notes that I've made so far
Love seems something like wanting a scar
But I could be wrong, I'm just not sure you see,
I've never been in love before
Next I asked several friends of mine
If they could spare a few minutes of their time
Their look suggested that I'd lost my mind
Tell me the answer, my Lord high above
Tell me the meaning, the meaning of love
The meaning of love
Tell me the meaning of love
From the notes that I've made so far
Love seems something like wanting a scar
But I could be wrong, I'm just not sure you see,
I've never been in love before
Tell me the meaning of love
Seen love mentioned many thousand times
But despite all the places I've looked
It's still no clearer it's just not enough
I'm still no nearer the meaning of love
Spent an evening watching television
Still I couldn't say with precision
Know it's a feeling and it comes from above
But what's the meaning, the meaning of love?
Tell me the meaning of love
Love seems something like wanting a scar
But I could be wrong, I'm just not sure you see,
I've never been in love before
If they could spare a few minutes of their time
Their look suggested that I'd lost my mind
Tell me the answer, my Lord high above
Tell me the meaning, the meaning of love
Tell me the meaning of love
Love seems something like wanting a scar
But I could be wrong, I'm just not sure you see,
I've never been in love before

Cute song =]
I think this song is about the fact that everyone has it's own look and opinion on love, but can't really explain the meaning of it.
I don't think it's general like that. I think it's about the speaker's own specific view on love; while love is presented everywhere and people assume that love is something that everyone needs, without anyone questioning it - when he asks his friends, they think he's lost his mind. The speaker can't understand why anyone would want to love, or to be in love - what's "the meaning of love", what makes it so big and wonderful and essential when he is happy without ("I've never been in love before").
The lyrics sound sort of naive, I can't help imagining young Martin L Gore writing it - whether it's personal or not.
i love the lines "from the notes that I've made so far love seems something like wanting a scar"
fake drums...yea!
